Abstract
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by fibrosing inflammation and obliteration of intra- and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. The disease is one of the most common cholestatic diseases in adults and is diagnosed with increasing frequency. It is very often associated with ulcerative colitis. Patients with PSC have an increased incidence of bile duct carcinomas, and those with ulcerative colitis also have an increased incidence of colonic carcinomas. In end-stage disease, liver transplantation is the treatment of choice. Immunosuppressive treatment has little effect. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which has been shown to improve liver histology and survival in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, has a beneficial effect in PSC, provided that patients who develop major duct stenoses are treated endoscopically. The aim is to treat patients as early as possible to prevent progression to the advanced stages of the disease. During treatment with UDCA, stenoses of major ducts may develop, and early endoscopic dilation is highly effective. Because UDCA treatment improves but does not cure cholestatic liver diseases, permanent treatment seems to be necessary. Such prolonged treatment with UDCA may be recommended because, until now, no side effects have been reported. In patients with end-stage disease, UDCA is not effective and liver transplantation is indicated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
